    Beautiful Beaches!

    November 26, 2018 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    So Dave got up this morning and headed across the road to the beach to take a couple of early photos! We were then on the road early to travel a little north of where we are staying, with our destination being Noosa National Park. We decided to take the coast road and stop at some beaches along the way. The first one we stopped at was Coolum Beach, an absolutely spectacular stretch of beautiful sand with turquoise waters, in a lovely little beach town. After spending some time on the beach, we walked back into town and had an excellent breakfast sandwich at a little cafe in Coolum. Our next stop was Peregian Beach, equally as beautiful with little sand dunes at the entrance to the beach - so lovely! We then drove to the town of Noosa, a bigger place than the first two, with a national park and amazing trails. Finding parking was a challenge in the park but we lucked out when we spied someone leaving! An interesting van in the parking lot made me laugh, so I had to get a pic (see photos!). We walked along the beautifully maintained trail viewing more fabulous beaches and interesting tree and plant life. Supposedly, there are koalas in the eucalyptus trees in the park, but we weren’t lucky enough to see any! ☹️. Lots of surfers on the beaches in the park, as well as sun worshippers. We stopped at a place called Boiling Pot, so named because of the witches cauldron effect made by the water flowing over the rocks. Walked a few kilometres, then headed back into Noosa for refreshments and a little retail therapy for me 😜. It was hot here today, around 32 degrees so good to stay hydrated, and lots of sunscreen was a must! We headed back to Alexandra Headlands around 2, picked up a few groceries, then went to the pool at our complex to catch a few rays. Went out for dinner and a walk, then back to our condo to rest up for a busy day tomorrow, when we meet Chelsea in Brisbane! 😊Read more
